About Tintagel

Tintagel perches on Cornwall's wild north coast, where Atlantic gales and sea spray have carved dramatic clifftops. The A39 provides the main access, typically via the A30 from upcountry, then the B3263 into the village itself. Electric vehicle drivers will find over 30 fast chargers in the area. The ruins of Tintagel Castle occupy a spectacular headland that becomes a tidal island twice daily.
